hi,
is there some reason we treat softlinks to files as the same files?
i have this setup:
0) master including 1,2,3
1) a/1.lyx
2) b/1.lyx
3) c/1.lyx
where 2 and 3 is symlinked to 1.
i want that 2 and 3 both have different local pictures and different
insetinfo buffer-path, however lyx treat 2 and 3 as identical to 1 either
when trying to edit them separately from master include contex menu or
when typeseting via latex - i get three times a/1.lyx .
would it cause some problems to distinguish between symlinks?
We used to do so, and it did cause bugs. (This is connected to the point
being discussed in the 5522 thread.) E.g., you open a/1.lyx and b/1.lyx,
and edit them, saving each of them from time to time. Pure chaos. But I
can see why you might want to do what you describe. Perhaps in that case
we should only allow these buffers to be opened read-only?
